Very common for that frame stiffner/cross member to be bent. Either take it out and straighten it or find a replacement one. I'm sure the frame itself is fine.... LockDoc

Re: Is my frame bent
The chassis service manual is available here on this site. In that manual, you will find information on measuring the trammel points to verify the straightness of your frame.

Re: Is my frame bent
When I refurbished my 68 ( painting now) I thought mine was bent. The drivers side looked really bent but after I spent the $500 at a frame/body shop, they said it was fine. I think that side is curved due to the power steering pump/gear box location. I could be wrong but that's what I learned from the situation. I would've bet money it was bent by the way it looked.
